31 Assim vós mesmos dais testemunho de que sois filhos dos que mataram os profetas.

32 Completai, pois, a medida de vossos pais.

33 Serpentes, ninhada de víboras! Como escapareis da condenação do inferno?

34 Por isso, eis que eu vos envio profetas, sábios, e escribas; a uns deles matareis e crucificareis, e a [outros] deles açoitareis em vossas sinagogas, e perseguireis de cidade em cidade;

35 para que venha sobre vós todo o sangue justo que foi derramado sobre a terra, desde o sangue do justo Abel, até o sangue de Zacarias, filho de Baraquias, ao qual matastes entre o templo e o altar.
